Be prepared to focus all of your energy to the bootcamp as it will require about 80 hours a week.

Product School provides an environment where I've been able to grow and work with some the greatest product managers I've ever met. As Product School continues to grow, they will probably have to work hard to keep such a great high bar for students and instructors. Product School takes feedback from its students every week. As such the curriculum and logistics of studying there are constantly ...

I took BrainStation's Product Management course, and it has helped me immensely in working within my technical company. As someone with a non-technical background I was often lost when listening to senior managers discuss their roles and the life cycles of our products. After taking Product Management, not only am I better able to collaborate within the team as a whole, but I have a greater ...

The program was a great experience. I really enjoyed going to class and learning something new. The instructor was real awesome (Josh). He was very knowledgeable on each subject and made it fun as much as possible. Had so many great laughs while learning. The TA's very awesome as well. Everyone was friendly and tried to help you out as much as possible so they can help you succeed in the ...

Codesmith does exactly what it promises. At the end of this course you can get a role as a mid or senior level engineer/Web developer. I came in to this program with limited coding experience, consisting solely of learning on my own. This course massively improved my understanding and coding skills.

The 5 days transform you into a data scientist. Great curriculum as in the selection of topics, progression in topics, right mix of practice vs lecture, right mix of complexity vs practical use and finally the kaggle competition. Raja was a great trainer and very affable. I enjoyed learning the math behind decision trees, random forest, and linear regression. I am now confident to make the ...

I am looking to change careers and I wasn't sure if I wanted to fully commit to coding so I decided to try First Step Coding. It was a great experience that has inspired me to continue learning. Coding is challenging and requires a major time commitment. The course is fast-paced but the teacher is always available for assistance. I do not have a technical background and I was introduced to a ...

A childhood friend of mine told me that he was planning on attending Byte, in July (2016), and I decided to check the place out. I'll never forget how much Tom, an instructor at the time, and Kai, the head of admissions, didn't try to sell me on enrollment. It's kind of hard to explain, but it was like they were indifferent as to whether or not I ended up going, and that's -- perhaps ...

I was a fellow at The Data Incubator's NYC campus and absolutely loved it. Everyday at TDI followed a similar schedule. We did lectures in the mornings, followed by intensive project-based group work in the afternoon. After a few weeks we went through the basics of statistics, good programming practices, machine learning, spark, map-reduce, interview prep and much more ... The instructors were ...

The time that I spent at NYCDA was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I came to NYCDA in the hopes of switching fields from elementary education to the tech industry, and that change would not have been an option for me without NYCDA. The course was both rigorous and engaging, and the program’s learn-by-doing approach taught both necessary technical content and practical skills ...

Noble's iOS Development course has taken me from pure novice in code of any kind to about to publish my very own iOS app. I'd tried paid online courses, tutorials and books but it all ended in frustration. One reason being that the language Swift has been developing and changing so much that online wasn't keeping up. There's nothing like having a live coding expert in the same room. Noble ...

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my Grace Hopper experience. The women I met and the things that I learned in the program have tremendously impacted my life for the better. Before Grace Hopper, I had never taken a programming class but came away from the experience with an awesome job where I feel confident in the work that I do, directly as a result of how well coding is taught at ...

Having tinkered with HTML and basic javascript, I decided to begin a career in development. In my experience, Velocity 360 is the best bootcamp for people serious about becoming good coders. My experience with Velocity 360 was overwhelmingly positive. Dan, the lead instructor, told us (read: warned us) from day one there would be little theory or fluff. This is a course for people who want to ...

The Front end developer course is very helpful. I am an entry level developer looking to make a career change into coding and have been looking into bootcamps and online courses to get started. Think Academy has a clear and concise outline of all the topics that they teach. Beginners like myself would have an easy time learning if they put in the effort. I've tried and started many other ...

Background: Retail customer service and sales in the tech/electronics industry, no prior software experience. Some general education teaching experience. Now: Just hit 10 months in as a software engineer for an ed-tech company that services students around the world. My review could just be those two lines up there and it would speak for itself but that would be an injustice to both Galvanize ...

Their teachers are extremly knowledgable and their curriculum is self-paced. This maximizes learning for students because they are to slow-down or speed-up depending on their needs. As more Turn To Tech grads attain jobs, their job ...

I discovered General Assembly after one of my friends mentioned that they were taking the Digital Marketing course back in Spring of 2013. I checked out the course and realized that it offered the exact skills I was looking to gain (marketing analytics, implementation, planning, etc.) Before committing to the 10-week course, I signed up for a one-time evening class (Introduction to Google ...

Trending Questions For NYC Tech Bootcamps

I am trying to decide on a "Bootcamp Prep" course and am at a crossroads. I know there are many free options online, but I have learned that I need the structure, accountability, etc. of a classroom environment to succeed. I was a remote student with Bloc's Software Engineering track and found that it just wasn't right for me, so I am approaching my learning from a different angle. Currently, I am between First Step Coding and App Academy's Bootcamp Prep courses. If anyone has any knowledge/experience, could you please share?
